Description Secret Charm: Paros

Perched on a Paros hillside overlooking the Aegean Sea, this property has a rather spectacular location. It's composed of two villas with a fabulous shared outside space, meaning there's plenty of room for all your guests to enjoy the serene setting.

The interiors are simple yet chic, with crisp white walls and wooden furniture creating a tranquil ambiance. If you need to hide from the heat you can take refuge in your bedroom with a good book, or prepare a snack and a cool drink in one of the two kitchens. However, we think you'll want to spend most of your time outside soaking up the Greek sunshine. Take a refreshing dip in the sparkling swimming pool, before firing up the barbeque for a delicious alfresco feast. As the sun sets over the water, you can admire the breathtaking views and raise a toast to the good life.

A twelve-minute walk will bring you down to Paralia Aliki, a wonderful cove where you can relax on the sand. Refuel with some fresh seafood at one of the local tavernas, then hop on a boat trip to explore more of the coastline. And, if you take a fifteen-minute drive over to Parikia, the island's capital, you can admire the quaint cobbled streets and iconic Cycladic architecture.
